#92 – My Money Got Standards in My Thirties

This week, we’re talking about money boundaries, adulting, and only paying people who actually show up, starting with the lawn crew that missed three appointments, quoted almost $1,000 to pull some weeds, and watched Jocelyn get her gloves and do it herself. Whether you’re tired of businesses that waste your time, deciding where supporting a business ends and overpaying begins, or just trying to make your money stretch in a year that keeps testing it, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
